Here we are. Week 13 of the 2016 NFL season—the week before the fantasy football playoffs for most leagues.
At this point, you’ve (hopefully) already locked up a playoff spot, and you’re just waiting for the playoffs to begin so you can beat up on the blockheads who comprise your league.

Let’s earn a playoff spot.
